The market closed lower on March 15, but managed to sustain the 21,900 level for the third straight session. Unless the Nifty 50 index decisively breaks down below this level, rangebound trade is likely to continue in the market with resistance on the higher side at 22,200-22,300, experts said, adding that if the index decisively breaks the support of 21,900 on the closing basis, the selling pressure may get extended up to 21,500 mark.
On March 15, the Nifty 50 settled at 22,023, down 123 points and formed small-bodied bearish candlestick pattern with upper and lower shadows on the daily charts, indicating volatility in the index, while the BSE Sensex was down 454 points at 72,643.
The broader markets ended mixed last Friday, as the Nifty Midcap 100 index fell half a percent and Smallcap 100 index gained 0.4 percent.

The stock is in a strong downtrend forming a series of lower tops and bottoms. The stock is also sustaining below its 20, 50, 100 and 200-day SMA's (simple moving average) which suggests bearish sentiments.
However, in the past couple of sessions, the stock has witnessed strong bounceback from lower levels along with huge volumes indicating short covering at lower levels.
The daily strength indicator RSI (relative strength index) is placed along with positive divergence indicating rising strength at lower levels. The weekly price action has formed a "Hammer" candlestick pattern however any follow up weekly close above Rs 488 levels will confirm the above-mentioned trend reversal pattern.
